I mentioned that one of the things I've been doing for the last little while is preparing for ADVANCE-Purdue's first-year site visit, which we had on Friday March 27. This is the first year NSF has been doing first year site visits for ADVANCE, and considering we've only been funded since October…
[The Intersection in LA, plotting world domination.]
Well what better way for two cobloggers to ring in the new year than from the same coast and time zone? We're blogging together from L.A.--catching up on framing science, sea cucumbers, hurricanes--and plans for The Intersection. We've got…
